Connection from the Eifgenbachtal to the fairytale forest along the Dhünn. There are two rock elements that are very difficult or impossible to drive and a few smaller paragraphs, otherwise a beautiful trail.

This section is rideable in both directions, but rideable with the understanding that the trail is more suitable for ambitious, technically experienced and fit trail and enduro bikers. Sharp, washed-out rocks, high ledges, lots of roots, also washed out. This is always a challenge. You will most likely have to dismount several times, if not often, and push, carry and overcome difficult sections. Challenge: master the section without (or with as little dismounting as possible). Caution: very narrow, very often oncoming traffic in the form of hikers, dogs and also mountain bike enthusiasts. Recommendation: only rideable in dry weather, if it is raining or wet just skip it or it will be your own fault. Injuries and material damage (torn carcass, flats through holes) are not uncommon in this section. Have fun and safe ride, you acrobats.
